I followed the directions:

-Create a sound layer  
-Name sound layer  
-Add keyframe  
-Select audio file  
-Imports into project as a single frame and there is no sound

I also tried:

-Import sound  
-Create sound layer and name it  
-Select audio file  
-Imports file into project but only as a single frame with no sound

I’ve had this problem and I’ve tried making new projects. I uninstalled then reinstalled the application. This problem persists. Thank you in advance.
